⁵² and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;

¹⁴ For ^(A)if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him ^(B)those who ^[a]sleep in Jesus.

The Last Enemy Destroyed

²⁰ But now ^(A)Christ is risen from the dead, and has become ^(B)the firstfruits of those who have ^[a]fallen asleep.

²⁵ Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when ^(A)the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live. ²⁶ For ^(B)as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have ^(C)life in Himself, ²⁷ and ^(D)has given Him authority to execute judgment also, ^(E)because He is the Son of Man. ²⁸ Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will ^(F)hear His voice ^29 (G)and come forth—^(H)those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.
